South Benbrook Braces for Heavy Rain and Flood Risk.

As Hurricane Lorena churns in the Pacific, its remnants are forecast to collide with a cold front moving into Texas this weekend.

Meteorologists warn that the combination could bring widespread rain and potential flash flooding across the state, including here in Benbrook.

For residents in south Benbrook, where drainage has long been a concern, the situation feels especially urgent. At a recent community meeting, neighbors were reminded that even a small blockage could overwhelm the single drainage outlet protecting the area. In other words, something as minor as a trash can lid could set off serious flooding.

With the heaviest rainfall expected Saturday night into Sunday, families living in flood-prone zones are encouraged to prepare now. Clear drains, secure outdoor items, and stay alert for weather updates and city notices.
